The Hollies

You Know The Score

(Terry Sylvester/Allan Clarke)

Track 8 on album 'Distant Light' june 1971



I look to the east and I look to the west

trying to find a place where there's rest

You know where I go, you know it's the same show

people turning their backs, not wanting to know



Look there son, you'll find hungry mouths

saying please feed me well I'm only a child

All around you'll find fallow ground

but you can't plow a field with a hundred missiles



You know the score

You know it's war

Death and destruction

We gotta change it now

Lord only knows how

to turn it into more



Where have all the rainbows gone

Where where where

My, oh God, says he's seen better days

Where, where, where



Speak to me, Lord Speak to me, Lord

Come on down with Your fiery sword

Rid this place of all its hate

Show Your face before it's too late



You know the score

You know it's war

Death and destruction

Death and destruction



Death and destruction

We gotta change it now

Lord only knows how
